Biden administration asks Supreme Court to tell Texas to stop blocking US border agents from patrols

The Justice Department on Friday asked the Supreme Court to order Texas to stop blocking Border Patrol agents from a portion of the US-Mexico border where large numbers of migrants have crossed in recent months, setting up another showdown between Republican Gov. Greg Abbott and the Biden administration over immigration enforcement. The request comes after Texas put up fencing to take control of a nearly 50-acre (20-hectare) public park along the Rio Grande in Eagle Pass.
